Hello is there a way to make the swf skip to any frame without having to start from the beginning all the time? My movie is getting bigger and when i wanna look at my new changes i have to wait just to get to that point every time -_-
sometimes if I'm not paying attention i'll miss the point where im supposed to pause and look at my changes but then it loops again and i gotta wait .. AGAIN -______-

this is what splitting up your animation into scenes is for lol but I think if you use actionscript you can add
Code:

gotoAndPlay(<frame number>);
on the first frame of your animation and it will automatically skip to that frame. I haven't done this so idk if it completely works like that

if he used your code and it didn't work then there's only 5 possible reasons why it didn't work.

1) since the code you provided only works on the timeline, if he placed it on a symbol instead then the code would only apply to that specific symbol and not the whole movie and buttons would need a slightly altered code so that it knows to check for mouse clicks.

2) He didn't realize flash was set to as3 and not as2.

3) he used the text tool and typed it into the animation instead of the action tab

4)He simply misspelled the code.

5)he has a preloader on the first frame which interfered with the code so instead he moved it to frame 2.

I can't think of any other scenario where this could have gone wrong....unless he wanted a specific scene in which case your provided code didn't specify scenes but from what I can tell he only has 1 scene he's working on so that issue wouldn't apply here
